Loneliness Relativity

I was home alone watching some tv serials on a Saturday afternoon. I sent him a text, “I’m home alone right now..”

Then, he replied my text from Padang, saying “Well, I’m currently at a wedding party surrounded by people, but I’m feeling lonely..”

So I said to him, “I guess we’re both all alone somehow..”

Sometimes we feel lonely because we are physically all alone at that moment. Other times we are in a crowd, yet we still feel the loneliness. It could be because we dont know anybody in the crowd, or because we know them but we don’t feel comfortable around those people, or maybe it’s simply because we just wish someone else was there with us.
